Very nice, clean, spacious hotel with a great restaurant. Location is some way out of Coimbra but if you have a car it’s no problem. Very enjoyable stay.

Relaxing hotel set in beautiful grounds.
Palace Sao Silvestre is an easy 10min drive from the heart of Coimbra and it was an oasis to return to. This hotel is a very relaxing place to stay. Beautiful pool to cool down in or relax sitting by, picnic next to a vineyard, breakfast in the dining room or out on the patio and bar/dining on site; food & service were great. Loved that it is surrounded by lovely grounds available for use to guests.

Nice hotel, rooms are a bit outdated but clean. Room with good terrace with poolside view. Pool is big and very nice and clean. The area is very quiet and no restaurants in the village itself. The hotel reataurant offers good food.

We liked the fact we were away from the city. the property was spacious with very nice pool. Even had a tennis court and padel court which was a nice surprise. They should advertise about them.

Nice place to stay for some peace and quiet
This was the second time that we stayed at Palacio São Silvestre. We really enjoy it here. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the food is good and allergy friendly and the staff is friendly. And it's a perfect location for some peace and quiet, while being close to the city of Coimbra.
There are a few small things that could use some attention, like the water in the shower turning from cold to hot, then to cold and hot again, or things not hanging straight. But these are no reasons to stay away from this hotel. We will come back when we want to visit Coimbra and the centre of Portugal again.

HOTEL EXCEPCIONAL!
Um capítulo a parte este Hotel. Que conforto e lugar encantador. Fora da cidade grande, um refugio!
Os funcionarios sao maravilhosos. Super atenciosos e compreensivos. O restaurante deles também é maravilhoso. Comida feita no capricho com apresentação impecável. O lado externo do hotel é sensacional, piscina, jardim e quadra convidam ao descanso.
